Our story

A Calgary family tradition since 1958

The Iamartino family founded Great West Italian Importers in 1958. Their daughter Sera grew up in the business: stocking the store's shelves, doing the paperwork for parents who didn't speak much English, and filling Safeway shelves with the family's products.

Today Sera and her husband Mike, with Sera's sister Sue and Sue's husband Giovanni, run both sides of the company: The Italian Store, and Scarpone's Quality Italian Foods, which imports products from all over the world.
